Paraconsistent Logic | Attic Philosophy

Paraconsistent logics are logics which are capable of handling contradictions: they don't allow contradictions to entail all kinds of crazy conclusions. In this video, I'll explain what paraconsistent logics are and how they deal with contradictions, by focusing on one of the most popular paraconsistent logic: the Logic of Paradox.
